Happy Birthday: Take your time, research, source out the best deal or move, and put your plans into motion with intelligence. A calculated approach to the changes you want to make this year will save you from making an unnecessary mistake. Offering suggestions and advice is one thing, but taking on responsibilities that don’t belong to you will set you back. Your numbers are 3, 12, 21, 26, 32, 38, 47.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Putting your own spin on the way you do things may not please everyone, but as long as you are happy with the results you are getting, that’s what matters. Personal gains look promising and a romantic relationship engaging. 3 stars

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Forward motion should be what motivates you. Learn all you can, and incorporate the knowledge and information into what you are trying to do. Personal changes should be kept a secret until you have all your plans in place. 3 stars

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Live within your means, even if someone else doesn’t. Don’t feel the need to keep up or to impress anyone. Be yourself and use your intelligence to figure out how best to get what you want without going into debt. 4 stars

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t fret or get angry when you should be using your imagination to come up with good ideas. Look at partnerships and consider how best to keep them equal. Set up some new rules that will even out responsibilities. 4 stars

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Mingle with people who have just as much or more to offer, and make plans to collaborate. Your enthusiasm will spark interest that leads to new possibilities. Traveling, self-improvement and playful banter with someone who interests you are encouraged. 2 stars

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t let the little things get to you. Go out and enjoy the company of people who understand you and who know how to contribute and want to explore new projects and pastimes. Refuse to let someone manipulate or ruin your plans. 5 stars

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Tension will mount regarding matters concerning your home or a partnership. Try not to get annoyed. Keep the peace and take care of your responsibilities, then move on to social events, pampering and taking care of your personal needs. 3 stars

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Do something different, and you’ll grab the attention of someone who will complement you and your plans. Don’t take a chance while traveling or engaging in something that could result in loss or injury. Stay focused to reach your destination. 3 stars

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may want change, but someone is likely to give you false information that can lead to a costly mistake. Trust in yourself, not someone trying to make money selling you something that won’t live up to its sales pitch. 5 stars

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Emotional matters will sprout quickly if you make an assumption or speak on someone else’s behalf. It would be best not to get involved in other people’s affairs. Focus on what’s going on in your own backyard. 2 stars

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Look at your options, and consider how best to utilize your attributes in order to bring in more cash. A professional change or handling your finances differently is encouraged and will help stabilize your standard of living. 4 stars

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Listen carefully, take notes and do your research before you make a change that isn’t reversible. Walk away from high-pressure situations or someone who is bullying you to donate or take on more than you can handle. Don’t spend unnecessarily. 3 stars

Birthday Baby: You are proactive, energetic and motivated. You are persuasive and ambitious.
